Trump Orders Justice Department to Investigate Democrats Over Alleged Threats

handelsblatt.com (German) —

President Donald Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats over alleged threats, claiming they are "threatening many people" without providing evidence. He accused them of sending threatening letters to innocent individuals. Trump's directive follows the Democrats' decisive victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, giving them control of Congress starting in January. The party leadership has pledged to restore congressional oversight of the executive branch through hearings and investigations into the Trump administration. The Justice Department is also seeking to withdraw a lawsuit against California's elections, while Houston has limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities. These developments come amid heightened political tensions following the midterms.
